For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Ensure the butter is softened for easy creaming. Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender cake texture. Watch the baking time carefully to prevent the cakes from drying out. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a delightful accompaniment.
